Diesel Engines: Design and Emissions

119 The “Diesel Particulates and NOx Emissions” course (1) is one of an ongoing series of professional development courses established about 20 years ago by Gordon E. Andrews, now Professor of Combustion Engineering at the University of Leeds, who identified a need for education in this field. The course was held at the Weeton Hall Hotel and Conference Centre, Leeds from Monday 23 to Friday 27 May; this series of courses is held both in the U.K. and the U.S.A. Lectures were given by Professors Andrews and David B. Kittelson (University of Minnesota) (2), and representatives of major industrial organisations and consultants involved in research into diesel technology. The thirty-nine attendees from industry and universities in the U.K., Europe and Asia. were mostly practitioners from a variety of backgrounds linked with diesel engines.
